I'm getting married!

[mbrooke5]

Last Sunday he took me out to a beautiful place down on the beach to watch the sunset. We haven't had much alone time together lately and it was really nice for just the two of us to spend some quiet time together. On the way there, all of the songs on the radio were good ones. When we got to the resteraunt Stromba requested a table outside so we could watch the sun set. Our 20th anniversary is coming up and he was talking about how fast the years have gone by. We talked about the time he asked me to marry him, where we were, and how when he asked me I didn't even realize he was proposing marriage. Then he asked me if I'd still marry him. Jokingly I hesitated a bit, but of course I said yes. Dopey me, I didn't realize he was proposing again! Then he took my hand and got very serious and gave me a real proposal, he pulled out a diamond ring and asked me to marry him all over again, on our anniversary on Sept. 25th, in a church with just a few close friends and our family. I was so filled with emotion I could hardly speak any words other than yes and I love you.

I luv it...i have to admit it brought on a tear!! Congratulations!

LOL We've been married for 20 yrs, we just never had a church wedding and last time it was basically just our parents and a couple of friends as witnesses. There were some years early on that were a bit tough at times, but overall we've had it absolutely fantastic! I feel like I'm 18 again! We're keeping it very small, originally we said 20 people, of course it's gone up and now it's at 30 but that's the limit...we're having the reception at home and I don't think we can fit more than that!

Oops! Must admit I didn't read entire thread. 20yrs...that's wonderful...obvious the romance is still there...You go girl!!!

Thanks everyone!

Today I got a face peel (this should take 10 yrs. off my face...yeah, right!) and did a bunch of wedding stuff. I found a place for chairs, white wood with a lattice back and cushioned seats. Went to the party supply, Costco, fabric, and craft stores and got lots of stuff to decorate. We're going with white and blue to match my dress. I'm having so much fun! I can't wait to order the cake LOL I'm gonna eat lots of it too!

Well Ms Puddles, I am in awe.... total admiration and respect for you and your husband. You two have faced many of the ups and downs that life has dished out and yet you still have respect, friendship, understanding, compassion and are madly in love for the cherry on the icing that is the cake of your life!!!!

I am sooooooooooo happy for you, my heart is bursting.

When I read about events like this it gives me strength and inspires me to keep waking up.

You two laugh together. You play together. You get down and dirty and are each others' strength when life leaves you bewildered; without breath or sense of logic. You pick each other up, wash that skinned knee with the greatest of care, kiss the wound and magically the pain disappears.

*thunderous applause*


I raise my glass to you....

An inspiration for us all (in AND out of the gym)... LOL

My kids and I wish for you another 20 THOUSAND years together in happiness and calm. I wish you strength and love that will see you through many more lives....

I am so very happy for you M.
